/usr/openwin/bin/xset: bad font path element

Hi all,

I have a user accessing a Solaris 2.6 system remotely via Exceed, and is
getting the error X connection to :0.0 broken. (Explicit kill or server
shutdown). Thinking it was a possible corruption in the .dt/ directory for
the user, I moved this and when the user would log in, it would just
reinitialize their environment and be good to go. This didn't work...and
here is the output from the /user1/.dt/startlog file which shows the error
"/usr/openwin/bin/xset: bad font path element":

--- Wed Feb 16 10:56:12 EST 2005
--- /usr/dt/bin/Xsession starting...
--- Xsession started by Xsession
--- setting font path...
/usr/openwin/bin/xset: bad font path element (#43), possible causes are:
    Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
    Directory missing fonts.dir
    Incorrect font server address or syntax
--- starting /usr/dt/bin/dtsession_res -load -system

&
--- starting /usr/dt/bin/dtsearchpath
--- starting /usr/dt/bin/dtappgather &
--- starting /usr/dt/bin/dsdm &
--- session log file is /dev/null
--- DTSOURCEPROFILE is 'true' (see /home/peri/.dtprofile)
--- execing /usr/dt/config/Xsession.ow2 with a /bin/csh login shell ...
--- starting desktop on /dev/pts/1

Could someone let me know what directory the log is referencing that does
not exist, have the correct permissions, missing font.dir, or have a file
with the wrong font server address? I've Googled this and haven't come up
with a solution as of yet. Thanks!
